Hi folks,
I would consider Edgar to be an English surname, after the Saxon king,
Edgar who reigned from 958 to 975 AD. However the name does appear in
Scotland in Nithsdale which is Border country in the 12th century, probably
an Englishman coming north to Scotland as indeed the remains of much of the
Saxon Royal family and their court did, after Queen Margaret Atheling became
the second wife of Malcolm III Canmore of Scotland.
regards,
Mark
